With an article like this it'd probably be a far smarter move to hold off on it for a while (as I have done) to get more crit on it and wait for Doomcon to end, but the open Series II slots were far too tempting to nab. So here's this weird thing.

It reminds me of a lot of other very meta skips, from 3999 to the one where you are the SCP!!!, but it's entirely different from any of them. So, I guess, in a way, it's that bizarre sense of familiarity with the unfamiliar that leads me to believe that, whatever this is, it's good.

I'm slamming that mf upvote button. This is the kind of fragmented, barely comprehensible, terrifying scenario that is unique to the Foundation universe, and the format you used to portray that kind of narrative here is visually appealing and immersive without going over-the-top.

I absolutely love anything having to do with the antimemetics division, so this really knocked it out of the park for me. Initially I thought this was a rewrite/properly formatted SCP page for 4739 from the Introductory Antimemetics tale, but even as a distinct SCP it's very cool and I enjoyed it a lot. I'd love to see Oz-Ω2 implemented in the existing antimemetics storyline, possibly as a tool to use against 3125 or something. Anyway, long story short, awesome job.

Could someone explain to this brainlet what the fuck I just read? It seems good, just wish I could understand it.
Upvoted anyways since I was interested enough to read it three times in the hopes of figuring it out.

You've been targeted by a predatory antimemetic entity. You read this SCP entry which exposed you to something that caused you to "hallucinate" the file you just read. That something, OZ-Ω2, is going to protect you from the thing that is hunting you and guide you to the place where you can contain it.

"OZ-Ω2" is suspiciously named, "Omega-Zero Revenant-2" perhaps? The events in the file are probably someone's memories, and the writing on the wall isn't in your head, you have just finally allowed yourself to see it for the first time.

I’m addition to what sirpudding said, an important thing to know is that pretty much all of the file is describing events happening to the protagonist (the researcher reading this file). For example, all of the steps described in Protocol MESA-ALEPH are actually performed by the protagonist.

I don’t want to explain everything (gotta keep some mystery) but I hope that helps!

To my taste this is actually superior to 3999, with more internal consistency, staying firmly in-universe (and, tbh, meta articles like 3999 really grate on me - again, just personal taste), and the format screw here is a breath of fresh air. And as Cyantreuse said above, this is an absolutely immersive dive into what it could be like to really work for the Foundation.
